6 Week Body Makeover

By Rico Kidd

Determining what type of body you have is the first step in weight loss. Learning what type of body you have will help you know what types of foods you should consume to assist you in losing weight. The key to losing weight is eating smart, not eating less.

The first step is to determine your body structure. Your body structure can be defined by using the body blue print, which is enclosed in your six week body makeover kit. According to the diet, there are four types of body types: A, B, C or D. Once filling out the blue print questionnaire, you will be placed within one of these four categories.

The type A body has a slow metabolism and these type of people have struggled with weight loss all of their lives. The reason for this is because these types of people are more sensitive to carbohydrates which are found in certain types of fruits and vegetables. Foods to avoid for type A bodies are fruits and starchy types of vegetables. Proteins should be limited to white fish and lean poultry.

Type B bodies are muscular and have an easier chance retaining lean muscle mass. However, these types of people still have a difficult time losing weight as their metabolisms do not burn as many calories that they take in. B people need to stay away from very complex carbs such as pasta and white rice. Type C is very similar to B; the only difference is that they can introduce more complex carbs in their diet as C people have slightly higher metabolisms.

Body Type D people have slow metabolisms and do not have enough lean muscle to burn fat. D people should eat more proteins as they need to build lean muscle in order to increase their metabolism. A protein rich diet with red meat consumption is acceptable for the D body. However, just like type B's and A's, simple carbohydrates need to be avoided.

Knowing what type of body you have is the first step in weight loss. Taking the blue print is an important part of the body makeover diet. You will start losing weight once you know what types of foods work well with your body.
